Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
In this experimental work, the influence of silane coated glass fibres added to polypropylene (PP) and polyamide 6 (PA6) plastics was investigated. These plastics were reinforced with (15 and 30 wt%) silane coated glass fibres. For this purpose, a die was designed and manufactured to produce tension and notched impact species using various injection parameters. Based on the results of this work, which investigates the influence of fibre reinforcement and injection parameters on the tensile strength and impact strength, PP and PA6 plastics reinforced with glass fibre exhibited improvement in their mechanical strength with the fibre reinforcement. However, improvement in the mechanical strength did not show a linear relationship with the fibre weight fraction on account of inhomogeneous fibre distribution and fibre fracture. In addition, tensile strength increased with increasing injection feeding zone temperature and decreased with increasing injection speed and extruder screw speed.
